An interesting approach for a 'Naruto Reborn OC Fanfic' would be to create an OC who is an outsider to the ninja world but has to adapt quickly. This OC could be from a far - off land where they have different fighting styles or powers. For instance, a place where they use music as a form of combat, and when they come to the Naruto world, they have to blend in while also introducing their unique skills. They could form unexpected alliances and face challenges that are different from what the native ninja are used to.
One idea could be that the OC, reborn as Naruto, uses their prior knowledge to quickly master jutsu. For example, they might know about the Rasengan from the start and be able to perfect it faster. Another plot could involve the OC changing the relationships in the village. Maybe they befriend Sasuke earlier and prevent his defection. Or they could introduce new ninja techniques from their past life to the Hidden Leaf.
Another plot could involve an OC reborn into the body of a criminal in the Naruto world. They have to struggle to redeem themselves and prove that they are not the same person as the original criminal. Along the way, they could discover the real reasons behind the original criminal's actions and try to right the wrongs that were committed.
One idea could be that the OC is reborn as a devil fruit user with a unique power that has never been seen before in the One Piece world. For example, a fruit that allows the user to manipulate time on a small scale, like slowing down opponents or speeding up their own movements. Another idea is that the OC is reborn as a member of a forgotten race in the One Piece universe. This could open up new storylines and interactions with existing characters. Maybe they are part of a race that has a special connection to the Ancient Weapons.
Perhaps an OC that is a foreign ninja from a far - off land with a completely different fighting style based on music. They use sound waves to attack, defend, and even hypnotize opponents, much like how Jiraiya uses his toad - related jutsu in creative ways.
A villain oc who is a half - human, half - beast hybrid. They were outcast from society because of their appearance and now seek revenge on all the villages. They have unique physical abilities due to their hybrid nature, like super strength and enhanced senses. Or perhaps a villain oc who is a former student of a great ninja but turned against their teachings. They create their own new and dangerous form of ninjutsu that goes against the traditional ways.
One idea could be to create a male oc who is from a small, hidden village that has a unique jutsu passed down through generations. He could come to Konoha to learn more about different ninja techniques and end up forming a team with some of the original Naruto characters. His backstory could involve a family secret related to the village's past.
One interesting plot idea could be the main character having a unique ability that changes the course of the Naruto world. For example, being able to control time in a limited way during battles, which would give a new twist to the combat scenarios we know from the original Naruto.
You could create a Root OC who has a unique relationship with Danzo. Maybe they are starting to question his extreme methods and are on a journey of self - discovery within the strict and secretive Root. This would add an interesting internal conflict as they have to balance their loyalty to Root and their growing moral compass.
One idea could be to give the OC a new power or ability in their reborn state. For example, if it's a fantasy setting, they could gain the power to control an element they were previously weak against. Another idea is to change their personality slightly due to their rebirth experience, like becoming more confident or cautious. You could also explore a different backstory for the OC in the fanfiction, perhaps one that was hidden before their rebirth.
A possible plot is that the cat OC is a magical being from a different dimension. It gets lost in the Naruto universe and Naruto helps it. In return, the cat OC teaches Naruto some unique chakra - control techniques that it has from its own world, which gives Naruto an edge in battles.
